BTW - are these new Vario-Schneiders and Vario-Elmars comparable to
the
golden age ones? Anyone with hands-on experience?

Sort of... The Vario-Summicron 28 -90 on my Leica Digilux 2 actually
beats all 3 of my ´70s vintage R Summicrons wide open, and my 2 60´s
M Summicrons aren´t even in the same league....
Of course, any comparison is hampered by the fact that you only "get
at" the image from the Vario-Summicron via the CCD sensor, which has
vastly different characteristics from film, and from the differences
in DOF. My verdict is based on hand-held portraits printed A4 size
(scanned film vs JPEG from the D2).
My heart aches when I see my lovely "silver" Leicas languish in a
cupboard, but I actually get more and better images when I stay with
digital.
